Drugstore Beauty: Milani Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso

I love my luxury beauty but I also find the drugstore a guilty pleasure to browse. So here's a start of my new coverage on Drugstore Beauty for the interesting beauty things I happen to come across that won't break the bank.

You Tube beauty bloggers swear by the Milani Baked Powder Blush ($8.49 at Walgreens) in Luminoso (05) as a healthy golden summer glow and I have to say I agree. I couldn't find it at my local Walgreens even though it says that store had it so I ended up paying a few dollars more to have it delivered via Amazon. Some say this blush is comparable to NARS Orgasm. I think Orgasm has more of a gold sparkly shimmer. This Milani blush looks like it has specks of gold in the powder, yet on the face, it completely gives you a peachy glow and a highlight without sparkles. It's the perfect little summer blush. There is a bit of fallout with the powder but for the price I really don't mind. The blush compartment also flips up to reveal a small brush and mirror which makes this perfect to stash in your bag and also compact for traveling. The brush it comes with is pretty decent too, especially just for touch ups. I have tried the other colors but I'm already eying Dulce Pink (01).
